Creating Users and Groups

[matrix2k]

Is it possible to create users and groups in Win XP using InstallAware, is there some 3rd party tool I can use.

I have already tried by executing net.exe but in some strange way the password seems to be incorrect/corrupted.

I have this logged as a feature request, thank you!

Thanks, it would be a great feature.

Another completory feature would be possibility to set advanced security permissions to files and folders. Today it is possible to set R/W rights in IA but it is very limited.

What other permissions would you like to see? Today you can set read/write, total access, no access, etc...

In general it would be great to support all of them it is importat that we can set permissions on folders so that all files and subfolders inherit the same permission set on the parent folder.

here's some MSDN pages that contains list of permissions and some example code.

I need to know if this feature (the ability to create AD users / groups) will be included in the next revision of InstallAware (I believe v6 is currently in development)?

Thanks!
